Edinson Cavani was one of the only Paris Saint-Germain players to not mock Erling Haaland in the Champions League earlier this year.

Cavani is on the verge of joining Manchester United and the experience he brings will be welcomed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Uruguayan is one of the world's most decorated strikers but above all that, he seems to have the right personality.

PSG were involved in a feud with Borussia Dortmund forward Haaland back in February after he scored a brace against them in their last 16 first leg tie.

An image of the 20-year-old captioned "My city, not yours" next to the word "PARIS" circulated online and ruffled the Ligue 1 side's feathers.

After victory in the second leg, PSG players decided to copy his 'tranquility' celebration on the pitch.

Well, nearly every player was on the pitch. Cavani was nowhere to be seen in the immediate aftermath and in the dressing room after the game, he cut a stoic figure as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar danced with glee.

It shows that while United may not be signing the 33-year-old at the peak of his powers, they will be signing a player ready to do a job professionally.

The Red Devils' interest in Cavani circulated on Saturday with the club keen to make signings before Monday's transfer deadline.

Within hours, an agreement for a two-year contract had been reached with the player and his agent, who will pocket £10 million from the deal.

Meanwhile, Cavani will earn around £200,000-a-week at Old Trafford making him one of their highest paid players.

Do you think Edinson Cavani will be a good signing for Manchester United?
